"Up to 4,000 foreign Orthodox Christians may have joined the VRS [Bosnian Serb Army] or Serbian militias. A hundred-strong Greek Volunteer Guard was formed in Mar 1995, and fought with 5 Drina Corps at Srebrenica in July 1995 [at the time of Srebrenica genocide]. Romanian volunteers fought near Sarajevo in 1992, and Ukrainians were also reported. About 700 Russians fought for the VRS, and at least four Russian units were formed; the most effective was the Tsarist Wolves commanded by Alexander Mukharev, including a Cossack company under Alexander Zagrebov, famous for the defence of Zaglavak Hill in winter 1993. Valery Vlasenko formed a unit near Visegrad in Sept 1992; another was led by Lt Alexander Alexandrov (kia May 1993 near Visegrad); and one under Alexander Shkrabov (kia June 1994) fought in Sarajevo in 1993-4."

Eminent Greek journalist, Mr Takis Michas, also wrote about the involvement of Greek paramilitaries in the 1995 genocide. He is now battling a lawsuit brought on against him by people who helped kill more than 8,000 Bosnian Muslim in Srebrenica - former ultranationalist Greek volunteers. His latest interview appeared on Al-Jazeera English. Please watch it.

Srebrenica Genocide is not a matter of anybody's opinion; it's a judicial fact recognized first by the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia and subsequently by the International Court of Justice.
